<p dir="auto">Celynn Ho won the women's singles gold medal at the first Malaysian Deaf Table Tennis Championship in Ipoh last month.</p>
<p dir="auto">She is now due to represent Malaysia at the Asia Pacific Deaf Multi-Sport Championships 2026 in Penang from Oct 3 to 10.</p>
<p dir="auto">Her mother Rita Bong said the biggest problem now is the cost of replacing Celynn's faulty cochlear implant processor. A new one could cost around RM90,000.</p>
<p dir="auto">Bong said the device matters not only for school, but also for training, because Celynn relies on it to communicate with coaches and teammates.</p>
